I believe that wedding photography is more than just finding someone who can operate a camera. It's about choosing someone who will be with you on one of the most important and special days of your life. It's about capturing images that tell a story, one that you will share again and again with your loved ones.
Your wedding is a yours, and that's the story I want your photos to tell. I include a mix of candid and posed photos to ensure the images of your wedding authentically reflect the feeling of the day.
Once I receive your inquiry, I'll respond with my wedding pricing guide which contains information about package options, add-ons and some answers to frequently asked questions. After your booking is made official with a signed contract and paid retainer, you'll receive my Bridal guide with tons of helpful tips for planning your engagement session through your wedding day. We'll also schedule your engagement or bridal session.
Depending on which options you select, we'll spend an hour together capturing engagement or bridal portraits. In addition to creating beautiful images, the session also helps you get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.
Approximately 30 days before your wedding date, I'll send you a questionnaire which asks for specific information about your wedding--colors, bridal party members, where you'll be getting ready, what family groupings you'd like for formal portraits, etc. This will help me prepare for your specific day.
It's here! My goal on your wedding day is for you to have the best day ever. I'm there to capture every detail and want you to be stress free and enjoy the moment.
You'll receive your final gallery approximately four weeks following your wedding day. Your online gallery allows you to download, share and print your high-resolution files. You also receive a print release so you'll be able to print your images using the lab of your choice.
"Gracie was everything we had hoped for! We met before the wedding, walked around the venue, and chatted like old friends. When we first signed up with Gracie, we got a special care package from her-complete with Mr. and Mrs. wine glasses! That was so special as that was the point that it hit home-we were getting married!!
She was professional, punctual, and with her second photographer, got all of the pictures we had hoped for and more."
"Gracie is amazing and super sweet! Gracie met me at my location of choice and time frame and we had a great engagement shoot. We did two outfits for the shoot and had plenty color photos and black and white photos sent to us. I loved them! For the day of, Gracie and her husband were the photographers. While she was with me and my girls taking photos of us getting ready, her husband took photos of the men and some outside details. Prior to the wedding she sends out a questionnaire asking about the expectation for the day of, any special requests and a list of the group photos we wanted. The whole time I felt as if every second was captured. Within three days we got our sneak peek and I was absolutely in love! My favorite photo, the one I knew I was going to love and the one I was most excited for was including in the sneak peak and it brought me to tears. It was beautiful! I enjoyed every aspect of my experience with Hart of Grace Photography and would recommend Gracie to anyone!"
